January 8,2019 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth From Scripture
Today Step 10
Step 10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Colossians 3:8, 12-13 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Un-forgiveness is a poison we drink expecting the other person to die. It does not get any clearer than that ! You have come a long way and one of the best ways of avoiding relapse is keeping the peace in your life.Step ten is designed to do just that. If you have to question your behavior and a response in a altercation find a place to calm down say a prayer and then go and make it right even if your not sure you are the one in the wrong.Your recovery is the most important thing in your life and losing your cool and sobriety because of some idiot is not worth it.
Matthew 18 v 15 - “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
Psalm 103:3 Who pardons all your iniquities,Who heals all your diseases;By Joseph Dickerson/Recovery Connections Network.
The old "I'll show you. I'll kill me" delema. I've learned the hard way that carrying any type of annamosity is very harmful not only to those of us in recovery but to all of humanity.
